Building

To build make sure you have Visual Studio installed (I use 2017, older versions may not work) and open the .sln. Then build the solution as release. It should compile properly on the latest.

In the event that the tool cannot compile, check references. All the libraries are stored in Switch-Toolbox/Lib folder.

• Smash Forge Devs (SMG, Ploaj, jam1garner, smb123w64gb, etc) for some code ported over. Specifically animation stuff and some rendering.
• Assimp devs for their massive asset library!
• Wexos (helped figure out a few things, ie format list to assign each attribute)
• JuPaHe64 for the base 3D renderer.
• Every File Explorer devs (Gericom) for Yaz0 stuff
• Exelix for Byaml, Sarc and KCL library
• Syroot for helpful IO extensions and libraries
• GDKChan for PICA shaders stuff used with bcres, structs for bcres, and some DDS decode methods
• AboodXD for some foundation stuff with exelix's SARC library, Wii U (GPU7) and Switch (Tegra X1) textures swizzling, and documentation for GTX, XTX, and BNTX
• MelonSpeedruns for logo.
